A son of Aaron, and a Levitepriest. His wife, a daughter of Putiel, bore him Phinehas. After the death of Nadab and Abihu, (Lev. 10:12; Num. 3:4) he was appointed to the charge of the sanctuary. On Mount Hor he was clothed with the sacred vestments, which Moses took from off his brother Aaron and put upon him as successor to his father in the high priest's office, which he held for more than twenty years. (Num. 20:25-29) He took part with Moses in numbering the people, (26:3, 4) and assisted at the inauguration of Joshua. He assisted in the distribution of the land after the conquest. (Josh. 14:1) When he died, "they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son." (Josh. 24:33). The high-priesthood remained in his family till the time of Eli, into whose family it passed, till it was restored to the family of Eleazar in the person of Zadok. (1 Sam. 2:35; comp. 1 Kings 2:27)
An inhabitant of Kirjath-jearim who was "sanctified" to take charge of the ark, while it remained in the house of his father Abinadab. (1 Sam. 7:1, 2; comp. Num. 3:31; 4:15)
The son of Dodo the Ahohite, of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the three most eminent of David's thirty-seven heroes, (1 Chr. 11:12) who broke through the Philistine host and brought him water from the well of Bethlehem. (2 Sam. 23:9, 16)

A son of Mattathias and the younger brother of Judas Maccabeus. He was killed at the Battle of Beth-zechariah during the Maccabean revolt. (1 Macc. 6:43-46)
'Eleazar' was also the name of one of the leaders of Jewish resistance against the Roman conquest (see Siege of Jerusalem (70)) CE, as well as the leader of the Jewish resistance at Masada in 73 CE. Whether or not these two are the same person is unclear.
Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and Israeli general DavidElazar met at 8:05 a.m.
Elazar then presented his argument, in favor of a pre-emptive attack against Syrian airfields at noon, Syrian missiles at 3:00 p.m., and Syrian ground forces at 5:00 p.m.
Elazar replaced Gonen, who had proven out of his league, with Haim Bar-Lev, who had come out of retirement.
Chief of staff DavidElazar planned the attack in phases, with Avraham ("Bren") Adan spearheading the attack the second army with one division, and Ariel Sharon's division to be held in reserve until success was achieved coming in to attack the third army.
Elazar, on the hand, supposedly cautioned his generals to stay away from the canal and the swarms of anti-tank missiles that were there, not to attempt rescues of the soldiers in the Bar Lev fortifications and certainly not to cross the canal (Blum p 204).
Chief of Staff Elazar was likewise recommended for dismissal for incorrectly handling intelligence and lack of preparedness, though subsequent opinion holds that he was not at fault.
